Problem getting TFTP working

[mazebane]

I am running TinyCore 3.5 on an HP compact t5000, i have installed it to the 32mb flash drive and have 512mb of ram.

I have added openssh and have the passwords for tc and root saved so that i can access the machine remotely from my ubuntu pc but i cant get tftp to work how i presume it should be able to.

I renamed the .wbar file to wbar and was able to copy that to my ubuntu machine but was unable to copy anything to my tinycore machine.

The reason i want to get tftp working is that i want to be able to upload and download the ios form cisco switches, i can do it in windows but i want to beable to use TinyCore.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can use either the busybox tftpd server or the dnsmasq tftpd server.
Use google to find and read the instructions.

Well i thought i had searched high and low but i hadn't looked at the busybox tftpd help i had just looked at the tftp help!

I can now upload files to my tinycore tftpd server as i have added a "-c" to the /etc/init.d/services/tftpd file to allow uploads, the line now reads:

/sbin/udpsvd -E 0 69 tftpd -c $HOME &

I was going to have a strop but i had another look and am happy i found it

Alternatively if you install openssh anyway, you could use 'scp' to copy files.

Is that a replacement for tftp?

I have got tftp to work so that i can upload and download Cisco switch ios images, im not sure if Cisco switches do scp, i know they do ssh but only if they have the right ios, which is why i want to use tftp

[tinypoodle]

I'd rather say tftp would be a replacement where scp could not be used for the purpose of remotely copying files.

I had a quick google and it looks like it may be possible, but i need to get the right ios, which i dont think i have.

thanks for the info, its something i havent looked into before and it looks very handy.
